The Respect programme reaches out to all grassroots parents to set a positive example to children through improved conduct on the sidelines and to act as good role models.
In short, it is the collective responsibility of everyone involved in football to create a fair, safe and enjoyable environment in which the game can take place.
The FA Respect and Fair Play Awards 2012 are a way of thanking leagues, clubs and individuals in Surrey who have made a big difference to how football is played, and includes some ‘money can’t buy’ prizes.
These range from having the actual FA Cup appear at a local league’s cup final, a celebrity football speaker at a function or even playing a cup final at the FA’s new state-of-the-art national coaching centre St George’s Park. There are also cash prizes on offer and the opportunity to receive an award at the 2012 FA Cup final on May 5th.
You can nominate a league, club or individual easily and quickly by filling out the appropriate nomination form in the Related Documents section of this page. The deadline to nominate a league is March 16th, and for clubs and individuals it is March 30th.
Derek Stovold, Surrey County FA’s Respect Lead Officer, said: "Without the support of volunteer administrators we wouldn’t have a game in this County. The Rewards scheme will provide us with an opportunity to say ‘Thank You’ to some invaluable people for their commitment to Respect, Fair Play and raising standards."
